Waivers and Wilderness: Managing Risk in Outdoor Adventure Companies
When running an outdoor adventure company, the last thing you want is to stand around handing out waivers and clipboards.
In our litigious society, waivers are key in protecting your business and ensuring guests are aware of risks. If you’re a guide, tour leader, or run a business that involves risky adventure activities such as ziplining or horseback riding, you’ll want to be able to capture consent quickly and easily without worrying about managing or misplacing paper waivers.
Thankfully, our waiver app can help with that.
Instead of worrying over waivers, focus instead on managing environmental hazards and ensuring your customers have the time of their lives.
Easy waiver signing on any mobile device
Having a waiver app streamlines your business. When you have groups constantly coming and going, having an easy sign-in option helps you keep groups moving faster. Our electronic waiver service means no more fiddling around with paper, pens, and clipboards before running an activity.
Upgrading to electronic waivers has plenty of other perks. For example, you can send waivers via email to participants with advance reservations before they arrive at your HQ. Our system allows guests to acknowledge and sign a waiver directly on a computer.
Participants can easily sign electronically on the waiver app using any Android or Apple tablet or smartphone. You can also set up our waiver app to work as a sign-in kiosk in your HQ.
Our various waiver signing options allow you to focus on your participants and focus on running a fun session.
Waiverforever suits the needs of any type of outdoor activity business
Depending on the business you run, you may need to use different waivers at different times and for different activities. Fortunately, our online waiver services allow you to customize and present any number of waiver templates you have created.
Liability waivers need to be able to articulate the risks so any person can understand what they’re signing. Waivers that are too confusing or written in dense legalese may not be considered fully enforceable in court. Our app makes sure the text is always legible and easy to read, even for people with accessibility needs.
Although the risks of outdoor businesses like ziplining tour companies, trail riding operators, or ATV rental companies are all unique, the consequences for failing to have your guests sign the waivers are the same.
No one without a waiver should be allowed to participate in the activity. That’s for your protection and theirs.
